AlcoLog: Track Smarter-Drink Better With Dean Chew

This week on The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, I'm joined by Dean Chew, creator of AlcoLog, an alcohol tracking app designed to help you build awareness, recognize drinking patterns, and make more intentional choices about alcohol.

Dean shares his personal journey with alcohol, including his experience with naltrexone and The Sinclair Method, and how his own struggles inspired him to create a tool to help others change their drinking habits.

What I especially appreciate about AlcoLog is its flexible, nonjudgmental approach. Whether you're working toward moderation, adding more alcohol-free days, or choosing sobriety, the app helps you:

Track your drinks and better understand your drinking patterns.Monitor your progress and recognize positive changes over time.Track medications, including naltrexone, alongside your alcohol consumption.Set personal goals that support your individual relationship with alcohol.Stay motivated with challenges and tools that encourage consistency.Dean also shares details about AlcoLog's free Sober October challenge, which you can join anytime during October.

If you're looking for a practical, science-informed way to become more mindful about your drinking, this conversation is for you.

Because changing your relationship with alcohol starts with awareness—and progress doesn't have to mean perfection.
